The Palace at Somerset Park Wedding Day in New Jersey

Congratulations to Flora and Stefano! Our incredible associates Marianne and Myra photographed this stunning spring celebration beautifully – and I’m thrilled to be sharing it with you today! Flora and Stefano’s spring wedding day was a perfect spring wedding. With gorgeous gold, pastel pink, and white details they truly leaned into the spring cherry blossom season and it was so beautiful.

The day began with Flora preparing with her bridesmaids at the Manor in West Orange, while Stefano prepared at home with the groomsmen. They met for a first look outside of the Cathedral Basilica of Sacred Heart. It was so sweet!! The (almost) newlyweds even had portraits at Branch Brook Park under the cherry blossom trees before their ceremony! It was a windy spring day, but it worked really well with Flora’s cathedral veil, allowing for some portraits with beautiful movement. She looked stunning! After their ceremony at the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart, it was time for their reception!! Flora and Stefano celebrated with their guests at The Palace at Somerset Park where they surprised their guests with fireworks after they cut their cake!

Flora and Stefano, what a beautiful wedding! I hope you enjoyed your honeymoon to Italy and Greece and are enjoying settling into your life as husband and wife!
